Whole Story Package: Maternity Session (part 1 of 3)

Real talk: The very first email I ever received from Brandon contained 10+ emojis. He and his wife were expecting their first baby and I can honestly say until that day, I had never received an email so enthusiastic and so full of joy. The skeptic in me thought it must just be an email thing. Sure enough, the second I met them in person, it was like FIRE. Brandon and Katie were genuine, honest, fun-loving, and over-the-moon excited about the whole process.

What made me even more excited was that they wanted to do the Whole Story Package. My FAV! This means I would get to see their family grow.

Because I have such a hard time deciding what to share from each of their three sessions, I am creating separate blog posts for maternity, birth, and newborn. #photographerproblems #overshare

The maternity session: We basically just had a ton of fun like big kids! Katie won me over when she requested blue ice cream. The lovebirds got all cute and cozy in a Ferris wheel. They schooled each other in arcade games…even got IN a game itself (whhhhaaaatttt). Then finished off the night with blue cotton candy. Have you caught on that they were expecting a boy yet? ; )

Needless to say, this maternity session was one for the books.

Family & Maternity Session:

Simple maternity sessions at home can be oh-so-sweet. I feel like you’re guaranteed to get something different than the norm. It’s the type of session that you can personalize just by being in your own home environment. And when this sweet boy walked into the room, bed-head and all, I absolutely loved it.

Fun fact: I knew this couple well before they were married. We go way back to an old youth group/church group we all participated in every week, way back before either of us were married or had children of our own. They fell in love as teenagers, overcame SO many trials over the years, and now are POWERFUL couple that encourages youth at their own church today. I love seeing people grow together! I took their first maternity photos with this handsome fellow a few years ago; It was an honor to photograph this mama again as she prepares to welcome another son.

Here are a few from their in-home maternity session….enjoy!

Maternity & Family Session: Bok Tower Gardens

Lee Anne and I first met at an awesome midwifery we’ve both used, when I was pregnant with my son in 2014. It was one of those instant-soul-friend-connections. It wasn’t just over our shared passion for photography or our faith walks, but so many more things. Little did I know, I would be working alongside of her with Petal & Vine a few years later!

Ever since this lovely lady shared that she was expecting, I couldn't wait to photograph this time in her life! I had been hoping for this family to welcome a new little one for several years, ever since I knew it was a desire of their hearts.

When I asked about a location, Lee Anne immediately said, "We've got to do them at Bok Tower! That's one of our favorite family spots". And so we did- and it was beautiful. Here's to their next adventure as a family of FIVE!
